<div>alright .. i am outta the spanish quote. Now its more simple and specific. No operating system found ! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please ... let me know how i can retrieve grub. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also i did put in the windows live cd in the recovery mode but the entire folder C:/windows is flooded with other files which i cannot access. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I was wondering what needs to be done next !</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Installation steps: </div>
<div>#1 - English chosen as language</div>
<div>#2 - City - Amsterdam (where I live) ! </div>
<div>#3 - Keyboard layout - UK (since i bought the machine from UK) ! </div>
<div>#4 - Prepare disk space - I already ended up creating too many partitions .. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The partitions as they are now :</div>
<div> </div>
<div> /dev/sda1 ntfs /media/sda1 - 27678 MB </div>
<div>/dev/sda3 ext3 /media/sda3 - 5946MB </div>
<div>/dev/sda6 ext3 /media/sda6 - 7254 MB </div>
<div>/dev/sda7 swap </div>
<div>/dev/sda5 swap </div>
<div> </div>
<div>/dev/sda2 ntfs /media/sda2 18095 MB </div>
<div>unusable - 8 MB </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now in this /dev/sda1 is the windows partition ( I think ) - something which I cannot check as well </div>
<div>And there are too many more partitions which I can think can be deleted and done a fresh installation </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So on this structure I chose /dev/sda3 having a mount point / and /dev/sda6 having a mount point /home</div>
<div> </div>
<div>After this choice I have tried to install ubuntu but i get the same error - at 80% midway installation - </div>
<div> </div>
<div>"The security updates on <a href="http://security.ubuntu.com">security.ubuntu.com</a> couldn't be accessed, so these updates will not be made available to you at this time. You should investigate this later.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Commented out entries for <a href="http://security.ubuntu.com">security.ubuntu.com</a> have been added to the /etc/apt/sources file." and the installation completes and nothing happens beyond. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So I restarted the machine and allowed it to boot from the HD and got the weird spanish error message. I dont wanna do it again and go through this process again ! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So please tell me if I am going wrong anywhere </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks </div>
